Florida man missing in sinkhole
00071269-642.jpg




A Florida man has disappeared into a 20ft-deep (6m) sinkhole that swallowed up a bedroom in his house.
Rescue crews have not made contact with Jeffrey Bush, 36, whose brother heard screams shortly after the hole opened.
Officials in the town near Tampa have postponed further rescue efforts until they determine how much of the ground under the house is compromised.
Alpa Patel reports.

Guys, it could happen just like that. You could be lying in bed and suddenly the earth swallows you up.

So don't sweat the small shit. Call some one you love when ever you get a chance. Don't put shit off.

Win your bets also!

That area of Florida has a great deal of limestone which allows water to seep in. When it then moves out, a sink hole is created. Unfortunately, this hole occured right in the man's bedroom swallowing him alive.

When my son was growing up, I told him on many occasions that if he was at home, in bed, and asleep by midnight, his chances of waking up alive the next morning were excellent...

This is the exeception to that rule.

so many sinkholes in the southwestern part of the USA now - - some experts think
there is so much movement in that area of the USA that
it will soon cause a massive earthquake on the new madrid fault which runs north/south right along
the mississippi river -- and would cause billions of dollars in damage to the USA.

Sorry, but can't resist:
If that actually happened to 5teamparlay, you wouldn't have to worry, he would bump himself right back to the top...

But he would wait at least 3 years before doing that
